"How long shall they kill our prophets while we stand aside and look?" - Bob Marley

"It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us - that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion - that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain - that this nation . . . shall have a new birth of freedom - and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." - Abraham Lincoln, The Gettysburg Address, 1863

On January 11, 2013, according to indoctrination organs of the criminal Syndicate calling itself the US government (a Syndicate comprised, for the most part, of big bankers, generals, spooks and, below them, their puppets in the White House and gubernatorial mansions, Congress and state legislatures, and almost the entire judiciary), Aaron Swartz, aged 26, killed himself.

Many on the internet have already traced Aaron's tragic and untimely death directly to the Syndicate. I wish to add my voice to this growing chorus, placing this recent event in a somewhat larger context of historical scholarship.

In relating this story, the Syndicate's propaganda organs conveniently forgot four crucial points:

The Syndicate had excellent reasons to wish Aaron dead.

As in most cases of covert Syndicate assassinations (e.g., Fred Hampton, Richard Wright, Ernest Hemingway), Aaron's death was preceded by a vicious, totally unjustified, campaign of surveillance, harassment, vilification, and intimidation.

The Central Institute of Assassinations (CIA) and the Federal Bureau of Intimidations (FBI) can and do kill people while making the murder look like suicide.

In America, England, and most other countries, painstaking research by people like Kevin Barett, Jim Douglass, Jim Fetzer, Jim Garrison, David Helvarg, and William F. Pepper discloses an unmistakable pattern: influential friends of the people (and hence, enemies of the Syndicate) tend to die before they reach old age, often under bizarre circumstances. This pattern has an obvious corollary: when friends of the Syndicate dies prematurely, we can reasonably assume, with a high degree of probability, that the Syndicate killed them.

Let me expound on these four points, one at a time.

1. The Syndicate had excellent reasons to kill Aaron Swartz

In an online "manifesto" dated 2008, Aaron wrote: Information is power. But like all power, there are those who want to keep it for themselves." He dedicated his life precisely to the goal of depriving the Syndicate of this power.

According to Wikipedia,

Swartz co-authored the "RSS 1.0″ specification of RSS, and built the website framework web.py and the architecture for the Open Library. Swartz also focused on sociology, civic awareness and activism.

"Swartz's Web savvy took him from Internet entrepreneur to online activist, co-founding Demand Progress, a group that campaigns for progressive public policy - in particular fighting against Internet censorship. His crusades boosted his status as something of a folk hero." Demand Progress had over one million members.

This figure of 1,000,000 is extremely important, for it shows, beyond all doubt, that, like John Lennon and President Kennedy, Aaron posed a real threat to the status quo. This threat is acknowledged by the Syndicate's own indoctrination organs. For instance, National Propaganda Radio put it thus:

"Swartz had an enormous following in the technology world" and was one of the "most influential figures in talking about technology's social, cultural and political effect." The independent Electronic Frontier Foundation concurs: Swartz "did more than almost anyone to make the internet a thriving ecosystem for open knowledge, and to keep it that way."

As well, Aaron spoke against US President Barack Obama's "kill list" and cyber attacks against Iran.

Aaron was "a frequent television commentator and the author of numerous articles on a variety of topics, especially the corrupting influence of big money on institutions including nonprofits, the media, politics, and public opinion. From 2010-11, he researched these topics as a Fellow at the Harvard Ethics Center Lab on Institutional Corruption. He also served on the board of Change Congress, a good government nonprofit."

2. Syndicate harassment

As mentioned, government assassinations of dissidents are often preceded by a campaign of terror, intimidation, slander-mongering, litigation, physical intimidation, and incarceration. Aaron's "suicide" fits this pattern perfectly.

The Syndicate made it clear that Aaron was in its crosshairs. Thus, Syndicate members, especially "the Motion Picture Association of America and United States Chamber of Commerce, have stated their opposition to Demand Progress on numerous occasions, mainly in respect to their stance on internet censorship."

In 2009, the FBI put him under "investigation" (a euphemism for harassment of activists) for publicly releasing 20% of United States Federal Court documents. The "case" was closed two months later, without filing any charges but not, of course, without making Aaron pay dearly for his idealism.

The entire exercise had nothing to do with breaking laws, or justice, but a warning: "Stop harassing us," the Federal Bureau of Intimidation was telling him, "or else!" And yet, just like a tree standing by the waters, Aaron was not moved. Despite the extreme pressure he was under, Aaron Swartz (like Bradley Manning and many other unsung heroes) remained defiant and, in late October 2009, posted his FBI file on the internet. With this single act of defiance, Aaron probably signed his own lynch warrant.

In connection with his public-spirited Open Library project, whose goal is "to create a free webpage for every book ever published" and to have as many books as possible freely available, Swartz allegedly downloaded four million restricted-access academic articles from the website of a non-profit organization called JSTOR, with the intention, according to the American government, of making these articles freely available to the world's people (as, by the way, they would have been in any half-civilized society - can anyone imagine Archimedes or Aristarchus or Euclid or Sappho copyrighting their works?), for which "crime" he faced a potential 50(!) years behind bars. Swartz, moreover, denied the Syndicate's allegations.

And, two days before his death, JSTOR, the organizational "victim" of Aaron's theft, not only declined to press charges against him, but "announced that the archives of more than 1,200 of its journals would be available to the public for free." Yet, that act of generosity and public spiritedness meant nothing to the Syndicate's "justice" system, which continued to turn Aaron's life into a living hell. And there is yet another curious aspect of this act. Most of us spend an entire lifetimes without ever accomplishing anything like it: cajoling a huge organization to place the public interest above its own. Are we to believe that, just two days after this momentous victory, instead of being jubilant, Aaron was depressed enough to hang himself?

3. Can the CIA or FBI kill you and make it look like a suicide?

The obvious answer is: sure they can. One quote, straight from the horse's mouth, should suffice. Jim Marrs and Ralph Schuster cite a blood-curdling CIA document, a letter from an Institute consultant to a CIA officer. The letter states:

"You will recall that I mentioned that the local circumstances under which a given means might be used might suggest the technique to be used in that case. I think the gross divisions in presenting this subject might be:

- bodies left with no hope of the cause of death being determined by the most complete autopsy and chemical examinations

- bodies left in such circumstances as to simulate accidental death

- bodies left in such circumstances as to simulate suicidal death."

On the day Aaron Swartz died, Michael Morell, a junior member of the invisible government, was the acting director of the Central Institute of Assassinations

4. A Historical pattern: Influential enemies of the Syndicate (=friends of the people) tend to die prematurely. The only logical and unspeakable explanation for this pattern is this: These friends of the people have been killed by their own government

I have in front of me a rough draft of a book: License to Kill: The Decisive Role of Political Murders, Scandal-Mongering, and False-Flag Operations in American Politics, a compilation of hundreds of untimely deaths of potentially troublesome dissidents. This compilation conclusively uncovers a recurring pattern of assassinations. In fact, only a handful of influential friends of the people (e.g., Upton Sinclair, Pete Seeger) have so far survived to old age. I can't reproduce the entire book here, for obvious reasons. Moreover, at the moment it only exists as a rough draft. In a few months, hopefully, readers can freely download the book and check this claim for themselves.

In the meantime, readers can, without too much trouble, examine on their own some of the most famous assassinations of the last 100 years or so and ask themselves: What do people like Judi Bari, Fred Hampton, assorted members of the Kennedy clan, Martin Luther King, John Lennon, Louis McFadden, Phil Ochs, Karen Silkwood ,Walter Reuther, and Malcolm X have in common?

Another shortcut to grasping this diabolical aspect of our body politic is asking the converse question: How many friends of bankers, generals, and spooks have, in the same time period, been assassinated? (The answer, to my knowledge, is: ZERO).

All I'm saying has been discovered and re-discovered by hundreds of researchers, activists, and politicians. Here, let me give you the views of just two high-ranking officials.

First, a familiar quote from Woodrow Wilson (28th president of the United states)

Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the U.S., in the field of commerce and manufacturing, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.

I think at the heart of the matter, Max, is not that the banks are out of control; I think the heart of the matter is physical violence, because a lot of what has happened, particularly as I understand in the United States is you have people who are afraid to say no because the results of saying no is physical violence directed at them or their family. I mean we have had a lot of people murdered or assassinated, etc., etc.. So . . . yes, we have to say no, but the question is, how do we say no? And that's why it comes down to shifting our money, but the reality is we have a force operating in the world, that is completely operating outside of the law and no one yet has come up with a way to stop it. We are talking about violent mobster operations.

I hate to use a personal example, but I was a former Assistant Secretary of Housing. I had my own business in Washington, and I was helping the Department of Housing and Urban Development, essentially run things clean, and you had to get rid of the clean team to run the housing bubble and I was targeted, I was poisoned, I had dead animals left on my doorstep, and my home had been broken into and people trying to run me off the road. You know it was very, very violent and it went on for years. So people who try to run the government clean or run Wall Street clean are targeted, and literally have to fear for their lives. I mean, people have been dying, so you know, it's a very, very dangerous situation and the challenge is, if you have people who can kill and physically harass with impunity, how do you run a governance process?

Conclusion

The bankers, generals, and spooks who comprise our invisible government had plenty of reasons to kill Aaron Swartz, especially because the internet - along with a well-armed citizenry - are the last remaining obstacles on the road to their totalitarian horizon. He was creative, idealistic, and unbendable. He was young and admired by many. If not checked, he might have slowed down the Syndicate's attacks on the biosphere, freedom, peace, justice, free flow of information, and common decencies. So the invisible government probably did kill him. They did so either indirectly through constant harassment, as his loved ones publicly state, or, most likely, directly by hanging him and alleging that he hung himself.

All this raises a dilemma for those of us possessing both conscience and a functional brain: "How long shall they kill our prophets while we stand aside and look?"

Of course the ptb can kill you and make it look like Suicide. They managed to kill JFK, RFK, Martin Luther King and many others without the truth getting out. I just watched "Evidence of Revision", which documents these murders and much more. A highly recommended watching!

*ex gressus, which means an example or examples of many given. Compare, CONTRA*** the misused "i.e.," which means "id est," which means a specific single thing, or "that is".
** et alia...."and others."
***(compare and note the contrast.)

(All are - as I recall.)

P.s.

Cui Bono? Hanging? hmm.

I gotta add, who would commit suicide by hanging - expecially an intelligent person - when there are so very, very, many other far less painful ways to go. (Look up hemlock society.) (Same generally goes with claims of self poisoning.)

However, a hanging is certainly the easiest suicide to fake- (1) throttle or garrot(sp?) someone, then (2) hang them up near a bucket.. (See, e.g., Washington DC Madame who supposedly hung herself in St. Pete, Florida. Some CIA asset in DC claimed she was depressed. MSM all over (and all overreported) THAT. However, she'd been on Alex Jones show two or more times saying "I'd never commit suicide. If I'm dead, I didn't do it." MSM ignored THAT. All of her evidence magically disappeared. There, Cui Bono?)

Whenever an important figure, previously healthy, suddenly dies of a heart attack, know that simply injecting a person with potassium chloride is sufficient to stop the heart as the muscle cannot work with a potassium/sodium imbalance in the blood stream. This is a preferred method of induced death by the dark forces.

Wikipedia: [Link]
"The lethal effects of potassium chloride overdoses have led to its use in lethal injection, as the third of a three-drug combination. .... its severe effects on the cardiac muscles: high doses can cause cardiac arrest and rapid death, thus the aforementioned use as the third and final drug delivered in the lethal injection process."

The murder and death of this talented and dedicated young man still fills me with great sadness. He was even younger than Martin Luther King, John Lennon, the Kennedy Brothers and Karen Silkwood who was 28 years old when she died.
